Table 2 and 4 data also are shown in Fig. 1.By Fig. 1, can be clear that, for according to the present invention, (that is, using and surpass 9m 3 n/ kg Co (NO 3) 2.6H 2the air speed of O/ hour, simultaneously the rate of heat addition is less than 10 ℃/minute) catalyst for preparing, the cobalt crystalline size is less.Less cobalt crystal will provide higher FT activity and provide thus better FT performance.
Table 5 and 6 illustrates, and when using that approximately the rate of heat addition of 5 ℃/minute replaces 1 ℃/minute, uses and surpasses 9Nm 3air/kg Co (NO 3) 2.6H 2the air speed of O/ hour has also obtained less cobalt crystal.
embodiment 29
In the high flux fixed bed reactors, embodiment 13,14,15 and 17 is carried out to the Fischer-Tropsch active testing.At first reactor assembly is purified with argon gas.
Under atmospheric pressure, in fixed bed reactors, use 2000ml hydrogen/ml catalyst/hour H 2the stream in-situ reducing is through the precursor of calcining, and makes catalyst precarsor increase to 425 ℃ with the speed of 1 ℃/minute by room temperature.Maintain 10 hours under 425 ℃ after, under hydrogen, make reactor be cooled to 190 ℃.With argon gas, reactor is forced into to 15 bar under 190 ℃ a.
Use the 35000ml/ml catalyst/hour the synthesis gas air speed to start Fischer-Tropsch synthetic, simultaneously common for feedwater to reach the steam of 3 bar in the entrance flow of feed gas.After 30 minutes, with the rate of heat addition of 0.25 ℃/minute, make temperature of reactor increase to 230 ℃.Reach after 230 ℃, adjust air-flow and water and add to reach 22% to 25% CO conversion ratio.
The Fischer-Tropsch activity data means and is shown in Table 4 with respect to embodiment 13.Activity data also is presented in Fig. 2.By these data, can be found out, as the SV>9Nm increased 3air/kgCo (NO 3) 2.6H 2when O/ hour (making the rate of heat addition maintain lower than 10 ℃/minute), strengthened the FT activity simultaneously.
embodiment 30
By commercially available Saturn DigiSizer tM5200 particle diameters of analyzing catalyst precarsor sample after calcining step distribute.Embodiment 15,18 and 27 is carried out to this operation.
The percentage that is less than the fine material of 45 microns in catalyst is presented in table 7.

As can be seen from Table 7, for example, if method for calcinating adopts high-speed (, 20Nm 3air/kgCo (NO 3) 2.6H 2o/ hour, embodiment 15,18 and 27), it causes relatively little cobalt oxide crystal (that is, to be respectively 112,88 and
Figure BDA0000409254390000173
), and the catalyst that obtains thus having high FT activity.But, for example, if (use the too high rate of heat addition, in embodiment 18 77 ℃/minute), it causes catalyst to break (, the particulate that is less than 45 microns is 12.4%), and the rate of heat addition is maintained enough lowly prevented that catalyst from breaking, but still guaranteed little cobalt crystalline size and high FT activity.
